Call (Baaq) for calm in Hargeisa In my capacity as a conscionable Somaliland Citizen In my capacity as an SNM veteran who answered the call of conscience In my capacity as a concerned Somaliland citizen I am calling the moral and the conscionable citizens of Hargeisa. I am calling the community leaders of any name or insignia I am calling to all whom it may concern: Calm the situation in Hargeisa, then call an investigation and accountability of this horrendous incident in our capital city; forthwith. Not business as usual. People were shot and no one is accountable for this, doesn’t fit! Not acceptable. This incident sits at the door of the chain of all our melancholy and menace! I hate to divide Hargeisa and the people of Hargeisa and call her names like: southeast, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest etc, I hate more those who made their trade to do just that. Divide Hargeisa, or Borao, or Borama, or Berbera, or any other place or places in Somaliland, for mischievous purposes, for divide and rule mentality! Hargeisa is whole and if one part of the whole is harmed the other parts feel the pain. We feel their pain; we feel the death and the injured. Only those who divide her as to rule her wrong may not feel the consequences of their ignorance of mass destruction! Hargeisa and Borama are brothers and share one destiny. They must be equal to all services, if there is any! They must share. The brothers of evil deeds caused this incident and not only that, they mismanaged the mass anger as a result of their idiotic actions! 1-The untrained, uneducated, misguided police kids, shot the unarmed civilians demonstrating against the foolish act of the fools running the nation, by the order of their commander; an ignorant old guard with Faqash mentality and culture! 2-an inept and probably ill intended Riyale cabinet member or members and others working for them mismanaged the incident that sparked violence. They must be accountable for this! At least before history! 3-The biased BBC guy in Hargeisa mischaracterized and twisted the truth in his reporting as usual. He added other places to the intended place, which was the destination of the Rig in question. It seemed he was playing for the government to create a bigger mischief! That is not an honorable thing to do by an honorable person! The police chief and others who had a hand in the mismanagement of this incident must go. They must also answer many questions before they do! An investigation must follow this step to pin down the killers who committed this crime and committed other crimes before. They must be brought to justices along with their bosses People are fed up. They must be united against the evil forces that divide them and name them names. Against those who create conflicts among and between the brotherly communities in everywhere in our Somaliland, just to cash in, in the very short term! The people must think big The people must think better The people must look at the big picture That is how the demons of evil will be out of work; then disperse like a beaten satin; but wait, not that fast! There must be leadership here. They will come from (you) the people. That is the good news here, for we never had good news for a long time! However peace Ibrahim M Mead |
